Childbirth Education

Over the course of 2 evening sessions, the class places an emphasis on what you can do to bring about a healthy pregnancy, birth, and baby, and how to prepare for a gentle postpartum transition to parenthood. Morgane V. Richardson leads the class with a blend of lecture, discussion, experiential learning, and inner exploration.

Some of the topics covered include:

The anatomy and physiology of birth

Stages of labor

Comfort Measures and labor-support techniques

Negotiating the medical system and interacting with medical caregivers
